Maybe it's that English accent that gets 'em, or may-be it's something else. Anyway. it'll be a long time before we shall forget those delightful stories of lohnny's. And don't let anyone fool you, that accent is no fake. lt's absolutely original, genuine, and guar- anteed. Vllhatever it is that Ronald Colman and the rest of them have, lohn certainly has his share. His stories about Bronxville, Passaic, or wherever you want to go would make even the greatest of the campus Romeos green with envy. Theres a little matter of a picture that goes around with him, toog but we won't go into that. Right now lohn is pulling a mighty oar for Coach Tiihonen. As we write, the spring is bursting forth and so it won't be long until Iohn gets a little water on the other end of the oar. Were all sorry that f Iohnny could only be with us for such a short time, as - we should have liked to know him better. One Hundred Eighteen

Indeed. the time he spends in research on the latter subject far surpasses that spent in legitimate studies. and still his mental capabilities enable him to rank high in the second quarter of the class. However, his more serious moments are spent at . H photography and they have been employed only too profitably, for he has walked otl' with many of the prizes in the several school exhibits and incidentally the vice-presidency of the Photography Club. He has done much to improve the quality of the pictures in the numerous School publications. One of the most ardent bullers in Kinnan. Tom has acquired ll notoriety for his often pointless puns. Despite this very noticeable weakness. Goodie has a scintillating wit and his presence much enlivens the all-too-numerous bull sessions. lt can never be said that Tom deserts his lessons for these sessions. for he faithfully prepares all these. And we are confident in predicting all the success in the world for Tom at Dartmouth. One Hzmdred Sezfezztecfz

'0lfNnA UW Y. Bio STEvE joined the cohorts of the Dickinson House in September, iqgg. The com- ing of this tall. robust individual marked a sort of epoch in the I-Iouse's history. for seldom has any better athlete graced the Halls of the Dick. Football, track. and basket- ball have not claimed all of Steves time, though, for he has distinguished himself in various extra-curricular activities. retained a first testi- monial consistently for two years, and on his entrance into Upper sacrificed a first for a second testy in an effort to secure the advantages offered by a liberal education via the bull session. Perhaps no greater Romeo ever roamed the bounds of Lawrenceville, for weird tales of interesting vaca- tions have often found their place at the dinner-table conversation and in bulling. He must not be omitted from the ranks of those who are outstanding in popu- larity in the Fifth Form because. when this big fellow strolls across the campus or among his classmates. there is constantly heard the phrase. said with respect and feeling, Hello, Gritll How ya doin? So Steve leaves Lawrenceville for higher education at Yale with our sincerest wishes for success. One Hundred Nineleen
